. SUBJECT; Project EUVANOID

Project HUVANOID {6 the cost {mportant Single project of the San Jose
Station, ani the baais for ail existing ami contems!ated OSO activities
in the area. It is re:uested that the restrictions imposed uson project
HUYASOID, as contained in TRS-W-635, copy attached, be lifted at thie tine,
and the Chie? of Station be authorized to direct the activities of TUKANOID
into the following channels.

(a) Direct and close supervision of HUMATOID]3, the Station's.
penstration of the Van:uardia Popalar, Costa Rican Corunist Party,
in order to utilize fully the agents potentialities. HUMANOID-3
is intelligent, has a wide knowledze of Commmist activities, pleas
apl personalities and is desiraw of cooperatin: to the extent ot his
ability. After a thoroush deebriefing of HUVAROIL-3 by EUMANOLD,
in order to ac uaint hin, HUNANOID-3 with the Statian's apecific |
interests and requirements, plus the subse qwent close Gupervision waleh
will be exercised by HUMANOID, and the continuing close cupervision of
EDMANOID=3 by HUMAHOID, it {se felt that the etation will then bo in
& position to provide intensive and ada-ruate coveraze of tha odjectives
essigmed to it in the San Jose SOL. - : .

(b). Direct and close supervision of HUMAHOID-h, the Steticnts
penetration of the Yonen's Prants affiliated vith the Venzuard:a
Popular. It is felt that the forser cut-out HUCKLEBONES, who handled
BUYANOID-& until 1 June 1949, was sonevhat inept in his operational
dealines, which poseibly may account for what seers to be a lack of

. Broductivity in the HUMANOID-4 project. HUNAHCID-4 hes an intinate
‘Welationship with active CP nonbers in Costa Rica, both on a low ani ©
high leval, and possesses a definite potential Zor both independent
reporting, and for spottins a likely individual to be used. as a
Paraliel to the HU-ANOID-3 project. HUMANOID, who vill now handle
- HUMANOID-4, is capadle of directing this agents efforts into the

. -. Broper channels, and ‘capitalizing fully oa the talents possessed by

the individual. It fo felt that this is another instance vhereby
HUYAHOID, by vorking closely end directly with the imifyiduel can sake
& substantial contribution to the efforts of the San Jose Station.

a (c) Direct and close supervision of EUMANOID«1 and HUMANOID-2,

|. the mail intercept operations presently coverin,s the General Past
Office in San Jose. Thu information that HUKAKOID-l has access to
ie important end is of documentary reltadility. His position ig

@ very satisfactory type of azent. He displays a certain accamt
of initiative in voluntarily performin:; tasks not specifically
re-uested by the Chief of Station throuzh the cut-out EUMANOID.

HUMANOID-2 has cerenstrated the Wualitiea of willingness, discretion, |

and cooperat‘an.

(4) As to the principal acent of Project HUMAROID, the
following observations ere subnitted, which will ‘indicate
unmistaxcably the va'tue of this project, and its contribution
to tha successful activities of tho San Jose Station.

Evaluation of services ~ As the principal ecent
end station cut-out, HUFAHOLD 1g charged with the direction
ani culdance of HUVANOLD-15 TUMAHOID-23 HUMAROID.~33
BUMAHOID-4+. Hic handling of these agents is carried out in
@ professional anc efficient canner, and his personal coments

ond corrections on thety reports, based on his long ecquaintance ©

with local percumalitica and conditions, are of considerable
value. His attitude remains enthusiast! c and yilling.

Evaluation of information » The information produced
by the asents being by HUMANOID is of great value
to the station. In addition to his own production, this
agents operations are well suited to checking on information
received from other sources.

\ COMMENTS < Despite the fect that HUMANOID has been vorking umer
certain operational restrictions for a munber of nonths, hia value to the
atation contimves to be of major importance. In addition to the tangible
and measureeble information produced by and throush his, EUMAROID has
proved to be the single nost valuable source of background and orientation
data far the Chie? of Station. His knowledge of the history of Costa :
Rican comumist activities and personalities, and hia grasp of the various
revolutionary movements and-fizgures has been freely shared with the

Chief of Station. These “briefing meetings” represent an intangible |
ecntribution to the over-all performance of the Stetion. HUMANOID is.
eager to expand his operations and upon the removal of present operational
restrictions it is believed that he can be given further responsibilities,
particularly in the recruiting of additional sub-azents. The station is
presently interested in accomplishing a parallel penetration of the .
Cocmumist Party of Costa Rica, in expanding routine investigative coverage
end in developing additional sources on political movements. It ‘s

‘believed that HUMANOID can insure the euccess of these new ventures.

received several days after the forwarding of TRSA-1056, which .

dated June 29, 1951, HUMANCID has been and is currently acting as
cutout for HUMANIST~2, as well as for HUMANKIND-1 and HUMANKIND-3. 9 _
It ie therefore not clear whether parapraph 2.b. of FRSA-GK5 is to ba-
interpreted as a new restriction on his activities which is to be placed
into effect at this time. In other words, is headquarters’ approval
of the suggestions contained in TRSA-950 now withdrawn? .- sis. tg -

3. As discussed in TRSA-950, assistance was extended }

HUMANOID in setting up a photography and photocopy shop on the fringe
of the downtown area. Funds formerly used for rental of a safehouse
were applied instead as rental for his photo shop, with the purpose
of providing a safe meeting place between HUMANOID and HUMANIST~-2 and.
to provide a more accessible spot for the processing of HUMANKIND
material. Farly in July 1951, after two or three weeks experience
with photostating HUMANKIND material at the. studio demonstrated the
unsuitability of the arrangement, HUMANOID resumed his photostatic
work in his own hoze. Tre studio has continued to serve as a meeting :
Place for HUMANIST-2. fie following consideraticns entered into the

vided valuable service in the past, that he is currently en important

possesses certain potential for future use by the orrenization. In
this connection, it is noted that headquarters inquired some time ago
(TRSW-641) whether subject would be interested in working for the ;

in this possibility may no longer exist, for your inforcation HUMANOID

MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. RASTETTER AND yR. BONNET
FROM: Pan P. Paxton
SUBJECT: HUMANOID; Career Status

1. I do not feel that this man's position in the political

and social life in Costa Rica lends itself to our need for a
career agent in that area. His findncial position negates his -
accessibility to high-level information, and our requirements
for Costa Rica should not be satisfied through outright subsidi-°
zation of an agent in order to place him in a position of influ-
ence. His wife's knowledge of his work for us is lamentable and
her Costa Rican background with substantial local political ties -
should be sufficient reason to be any further consideration on .
our part for increasing his knowledge of our operations, Admit
tedly, he has performed. a satisfactory service for the San Jose
station, but his efforts are not so vital that his termination, in
the event he decides to sever connecticns with us because of -his
failure to achieve more pramAnent status, would be a permanent blow
to our effectiveness there. ° With respect to his knowledge of
future possibilities with 4S, we cannot be held responsible for

*,-, Unauthorized commitments that may have been made by the previous

suitability of Husanoid for cereer agent status, and in this connec-
tion, it is to. be noted subject is partially aware of the possibilities
bee of career agent stetus by virtue ofa discussion with the former :
i” Chief of .Station, : . oo ae _

i” 2. %It appears that Humanoid fills the requirements set
out in reference meworandum, as follows:

a. tIumancid.

b. His existing cover is well estzblished and believed to be
durcble. He has teen attending tke local university for
4 - . Over two years; he built and owns his own home in Costa Rica;
i he is married to a Coste Rican and has two children torn here;
: ; anc he has a going business in the form of a photographic
shop wnich provides an excuse for additicnal income.

SOI objectives assigned to Eumanoid include supervised ;
direction of Corzunist Party penetration (Humanist-2); super=-
vised direction of Postal Intercept Project (Humankind);
direct provision of information emanating from local university : .
and intellectual circles cf which subject is a meuwber. Aliso,

~ subject forcerly cirected attempted penetration of. the Comuu- . pa
nist Party woments"front™ group (Hugger). . . : ;

It has been noted that subject's efficiency and productivity
have been hampered by financial consideraticns in the past.
He has had unusually heavy nedical bills, and the rising cost
of living in Costa Rica has. presentec economic problems in
view of his modest income. It is felt that subject has
' valuable potential for expanding his operaticns uncer the status
of career agent. With the recoval or partial rewoval of j
“economic pressure, subject would be able to devote edditional .
time to the exploitation of numerous personal contacts in
labor, government, religious, and political circles. - He is

=~and political trends in Costa Rica. To date, subject hss | - - i
confinec his activities mostly to cutout and airection; . . i
$

however, it is believed that with additional freedom he could
successfully encupe in spottine, recruitment, ceneral inves-
tigetion, and independent rerorting.

@. Subject has discussed hia desire to send his wife and two
children to tis family in the United States late in October
for a 6C-day visit. He woulda then like to travel to the
United Stites hinselif in late December for a trief visit .
with his parents in Illinois, This would be his firet visit
home in several years and would crovide an excellent Cpper-
tunity end cover for headquarters contact, either in liiinois
or Washington, at which time for-alities and necessary

Do ; training cold be accomplished. (NOTE: ~ This’ planned trip

- of subject cay tempcrarily interruct contact with Humenist-2

and Humankind, as a suitetle interim cutout has not yet been
developed; but experience has shewn tht procuction fron ;
both sources practically dies out over the Christaas ond Hew
Year holidays in this country. ° :

‘ 3 In connection vith Paragraph e. above, it is to be - . i
noted that the travel plans of subject's wife hove been complicated Dopey
by advice fron the Exbassy Censular Section. that the Immigretion - F bos
authorities at the ccrt of entry into the United Stetes may cemand a 3 sds
$500.CO U.S. bond in substantiation of her intent to return to Costa j po
Rica after the 60 days. This station is therefore considering |
advancing subject U.S. $500.00 in orucr to enable him to present the
bond if it is demanded and to obviate the rossibility of iis spending
. 6everal hundred collars in travel money for his wife to 2 port of
‘entry and return to Costa Rica if entry were denied. This coney -
would not be used by subject for any other purpose and would be re-
turned to station funds after successful entry of his wife into the.
United Stetes.

Be 4&. In view of the fact that this Station has no basis
me for comparison with regard to possible salary firures which might be

“ "* offered subject if exreer arent status is approved, no recommendation
in this rerard is beinr made. However, it is pointed cut that subject
has worked for the orranization for almost four years, thet his ;
efficiency has been excellent, his rrasp of intelligence requirenents -
above averare, his potential ettractive, and that his present position
in the operational structure of this Station is of major importance.

5. It is requested that this Stction be advised if you 3
are interested in considering subject for cureer agent stctus. . -
If so, please advise whether contact will be had with subject while .

b. Technical Surveillance in Costa Rica

HUMANOID is an American agent used as a cut-out in several
San Jose operations. He was employed in the technical surveillance on
the home of Juan Bosch, as one of the two monitors. He also handles
the photography incident to the HUMANKIND project, which work.he . _
_ performs_in. his own quarters: “(This may now be pérformed away from
his home, but until very recently it was done at home. ) . :

. -HUMANOID's PHS shows the following points which Dave Wright
may be able to clarify: ‘

Sener en he pene

(see TZP-A-365, Part 1)

1. His wife is related, through her mother, to the family of © :
CALDERON. This might be a connection with the "Calederonistas" who
are alleged to be the group of Costa Ricans responsible for mysterious
bombings early this year.

: 2. Subject's mother-in-law, who resides with him, is described
_as follows; “strongly inclined to Sr. Calderon GUARDIA and Leo CORTES
during their respective regimes in Costa Rica, and she is now (Oct 1948)
enthusiastic about the Junta Government of Jose FIGUERES. However,
she takes no active part in politics."

anand

3. Other friends and associates of his wife are: Sr. and Sra. -
Miguel Corrales (San Juan Tibas Costa Rica). Miguel Corrales was a
radio operator and intelligence operative for Jose: FIGUERES during the
Costa Rican Civil War in the spring of 1948. .

. . Jose FIGUERES and Juan BOSCH were the target personalities _
-. Of the technical surveillance. FIGUERES made the statement that “one of
his boys told him all about the surveillance. "'

: From the above circumstances, it appears possible that HUMANOID's

- intelligence activities are probably known to either his wife, his mother-in-
law, or his friend, CORRALES, and that one of the three could have been
the source through which the surveillance was blown. Would you discuss .
this informally with Dave Wright, please ? :

he made before the police during his interrogation reflects that
he reportedly refused to testify before the police but made his
deposition before the Procurador as to his part in the technical . i
installation which implicated only the writer, and this only after .

he wes told that Roddy had been identified. Humanist's testimony, as : :
well as the line of questioning to which he was submitted, revealed . |,
# the authorities* concern and their efforts to ascertain whether he

: had been engaged in or knew of any other similar installations on

: any other peovle. This he denied and maintained that the only

. . dnstellation was on Juan BOSCH. Humanist claims he made no mention
i." - of Humanoid, and he believes the police know nothing about hin.

2.. Humanistts claims also tally with the account of
his confession as given writer by Manuel VENTURA, Presidential aide.
Humanoid has been on the alert and has noted nothing of a suspicious
} nature which. would indicate his activities being under observation
: - or investigation. This matter of suspending his operations, as
- suggested by headquarters, was discussed by writer with Elo R.
.. Langtry during his recent visit in San José and the following -
+ guggestions are made for headquarters’ consideration:

.

: a. Humanoid at the present time is acting as cutout and
chief agent for Humanist-2, Humankind-1, and Humankind-3. There
is no other agent at the present time to whom these contacts can
‘be given. It is believed that if these subagents ere allowed a
_. 6=months vacation, they will become practically worthless when

’ picked up again and have to work for the money they have been
. Feceiving, aside from losing interim information and cevelopments.

ae .b. In an effort to establish a more secure, as well as a
=* commercial, cover for Humanoid, tunis office has acceded to

’ Humanoid's desire to set up a photography and photocopy shop in
-the downtown area, and.has encouraged him in it by allowing funds

paid—for-—rental-of=a-safehouse_to-be=applied-“instead—as rental. = 2!
_ for his photo shop. This provides Humanoid with a good cover in

a business which he iv enthusiastic about and is a more natural _ . bo,
place for Humanist-2 to make unobserved contacts. It also ; Poo teh ee
supplies Humanoid with a more accessible spot and efficient means i
to photostat mail intercepts and return them to the post office i j
in tine instead of com.uting back and forth from his home in H i
the suburbs of San José. t

'C. Therefore, it is sugzested that Humanoid's semi-weekly
contacts with Huranist-2, instead of being cancelled, be changed
to a weekly letterdrop, and a live contact once a month to take
care of salary payments and briefing: This letterdrop can be —
effected by Humanist-2 passing by the photo shop at night and
dropping his messages through the slot in the door usually used
for after-hours delivery of films to be developed. The film
drop will be into a padlocked box, accessible only to Humanoid.

d. Regarding Humanoid's contacts with Humankind-1 and
Humankind-3, these are conducted in a thoroughly safe manner.
Mail extracted from postal channels by them is deposited in an
envelope and placed in a post office box. It is checked daily
by Humanoid, and if anything is there, it is removed, photostated,
and returned by him the same day. If anyone is noticed hanging
around the post office boxes, Humanoid does not go near the box
and returns later when the way is clear.

cm en ee atae aint lta kaye

e. Another factor has erisen since the last dispatch which
has made this post office overation more secure in that the
Director of the Post Office is now beholden to Humanoid. In a
recent legal squabble noted in the press which was raised by a
‘local Comzunist comolaining about the government confiscating

... ° bis mail from abroad, the government cesired to prove that this
., 77. mail was Comcunist propazanda which they had a right to confiscate, |
; and the President therefore requested the-Director of the Post ;
Office to furnish samples to prove this point. “With this "heat"
on him,,the Director made a frantic appeal to Humanoid, who was
able to procure these samples for him, which satisfied the
President, and for which the ‘Director was truly ¢rateful.
Therefore, no trouble is expected. from this intercept operation
. 88 long as the present personnel are being used, and ample warning
~, will be given Humanoid in advance of any change in the present
attitude. .

“HUMANOID Project
. a

Je In’accordance with conversations held between Chief, STC and
FO? and with ur. Johnston of your office, the following nodifications
and additional data concerning.this project are set forth. — _

2. On 3 Mareh 1951 a technical surveillance was installed on the
residence of Juan BOSCH, a Caribbean revolutionary leader, utilizing the
services of a telephone campany employee, -Yarcos Aurelius Salazar,
throush HUMAWIST. HUMANOID and HUMANIST: carried on the monitoring in
shifts, but at separated intervals. Shortly thereafter, it-mas noticed
that some natives living nearby wore unduly interested in tr: activities
of ‘the nonitorin: house, and, at the same tina, aystertous benb exalosions
were occurring in San Jose. HUNANISE learned that the police had received

‘ "a report that unimiomm persons were spying on the airfield, which adjoined
sO : . the monitorins pest, and pernaps were manufacturing the bombs. The sur=
; veillance was discontimed and the equipment moved on 20 March.

_ . 3. It was deemsd nacessary to brief Salazar on a possible investi- :
gation and provide him with a suitable cover story. It is believed that v4
Salazar became frishtened, went to the polica, and implicated HUAANIST, ;
\ Who was subsequently arrested. ‘After threa days, SUMANIST confessed and
implicated the chief of station.

. kh. Tha chief of station, through his strong personal comectfons ~
“With the Viee President and other’ high officials, was able to convince
the President this activity was not detrimental to the interests of

-- - + Cesta Rica and the whole affair tas quashed. HUMANIST was released fron

“.... Jad and the chief of station contimes to enjoy cordial and anicable ~
Telations with the Costa Rican officials concerned. :

5. It 4s planned that the chief of station will be transferred in LS

_— ‘the near future, at which tine UANIST will be terninated on the pretext
bee that all operations are baing discontimed, The only other current _
Mo operation which MMiUiIST knows anything about is INMANTST <2, whom he wag

“ “ HUAANIST=2 since then ond has never knom who handles hin or even if he
